Two Framingham moms have started a Kickstarter campaign to try to get their illustrated children’s book published.

Titled “The Quirky Confessions: Days in the Life of a Stay at Home Mom,” the humorous book was written by sisters-in-law Laurel Spurrell and Carrie Grove and illustrated by Framingham State University student Sara Capello. The graphic design was done by Addy Fulmer of TPI Solutions Ink in Waltham.

After having her second child, Spurrell became a stay-at-home mom. Due to a shortage of adult interactions she began posting comical, quirky status updates on Facebook about her days at home with the kids. Friends and family started posting things like, “So funny!” and “You should write a book!” Eventually, turned Spurrell’s humorous posts into a book.

The two hope to raise $5,500 to pay for printing and binding the colorfully designed soft-cover book. This project will only be funded if at least $5,500 is pledged by Saturday, April 19. Backers of the project will receive rewards, such as a printed copy of the book, matted prints and more.

As of Friday at 5:15 p.m., the campaign had raised $1,700 from 32 backers.
